NHTSA recall 12V380000
Structure · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: During the front passenger air bag deployment, parts of the molding strip could potentially become loose and become a projectile in the passenger compartment.
Why it matters: In the event of the passenger airbag deployment, if the molding strip comes loose, there is an increased risk of personal injury.
The fix: Mercedes-benz will notify owners, and dealers will reinforce the connection between the molding strip and air bag cover flap, free of charge. The safety recall began on October 26, 2012.
